day 2 is here!

Hey Mattie,

As hokiehi posted, start posting roll and read everything you can get your hands on on this site. I'm only on Day 8 but it's already been the difference between me staying quit and my best friend who made the New Year's resolution with me caving. Cope wintergreen was my bitch of choice as well, a can every two days. I've already saved 20 bucks and I'm planning on spending that on a shady massage in Chinatown with a happy ending.

I sent you a PM with my digits. If you're fighting the urge or just need someone to talk to, hit me up. Sometimes your buddies just don't get it. The people here do.

Ahahaha......you spring for some more of those happy endings for the group and you'll start a revival!

Day 11 here. I think I made my first 3 days as miserable as possible on purpose. i.e. drinking and partying (new years eve was my day 3). If I could power through that, i knew the rest would be cake, but during the day had to keep busy, to keep my mind off of it.

Keep yourself occupied, boredom will kill you(I had tried to quit before, and that was always my undoing, this time I wasnt going to let it be). Go to the mall, go to the grocery store, do anything that keeps you busy, anything that isnt you just hanging out alone with your thoughts, where all you think about is poppin in a dip. Basically anything that physically stimulates you, take a walk, go run, do pushups, that kinda crap will pull your mind away from it.

Oh....and go here index.php?showtopic=7622 and post to the roll. But only post if you can keep your promise not to dip that day. We take that serious around here. Someone is receiving a public flogging as we speak. So don't be weak and cave. Be a bad ass and quit with the rest of us.

Drink water, eat seeds, hard candies. Do what ever you need to do but don't risk the big C again. It is not an option! All I can promise you that you will feel better each and every day of you quit. Get into chat, read the stories on the site do something to take your mind off the craves. The craves will go away and they are weak, nothing that you can't handle.

Thank you!!!! :)

Welcome to the fight. The only way to get past the crap you are going through now is to quit today. Tomorrow you quit again. But we can get to that tomorrow...let's just focus on today. The minute you cave and put a dip in, you hit the reset button. You want to quit after that dip....you get to go through all of this shit again. Sucks, doesn't it? Relish it. Enjoy it. Remember it so you never want to go through it again. Post roll every day. By doing that, you are making a promise to yourself and to us that you will not dip that day. Keep the promise! We don't treat those who cave too kindly. Be strong. You are bigger than this. Don't be a puss! If you need numbers of folks to call, send someone a pm. We are all in this together. Post on the board as often as you can....read what others are doing and what they are facing. You aren't in this alone.
